# Dark Dragonair #33/82 — Team Rocket

## Summary

Dark Dragonair is a Team Rocket uncommon whose Evolutionary Light fetched any Evolution straight from the deck, a real utility engine for evolution-based decks of its day. Kagemaru Himeno, an original-era artist, adds early-Wizards appeal, and Dragonair has always been a Gen I favorite. The modelled guide sits at $7.61, up 16% over 30 days on 57 copies traded, with 1,433 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
